Through random fits of late night brainstorming, I came up with a combination of ingredients (including golden corn syrup, toasted pecans, evaporated milk and Skor toffee!) that approximated the flavour and gooeyness of the Southern treat.

Songs about drummer boys and girls with daisies in their hair are lavished with old folk and soul, although sometimes the gooeyness needs more bite, Shaky's pops at US foreign policy: "Baghdad she's a mean old town/I get the feeling she don't want me around."

The chocolate beer was apparently too sweet for Evan at The Full Pint, who writes that it contained “a ton and a half of sugary sweetness” with “an insane amount of gooeyness left behind on the roof of your mouth.”
